The computer system may include aggregating social media content received from the multiple social network feeds. The computer system may also include generating filtered data by eliminating repetitive data from among the received aggregated social media content. The computer system may further include analyzing the filtered data for determining at least one data category and presenting a digest of social media content based on the determined at least one data category.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the field of social networking using a computer on a communication network, and more particularly to improving the quality, relevance and form of the content delivered along with its impact on delivery bandwidth.

BACKGROUND

A social networking service is an online service, platform, or site that focuses on facilitating the building of social networks or social relations among people who, for example, share interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections. A social network service consists of a representation of each user, i.e., a profile, the user's social links, and a variety of additional services. Most social network services are web-based and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, activities, events, and interests within their individual networks.

Social media depends mainly on user driven content, which is a defining characteristic of the Social Web. As a result, large amounts of data flow through these social network channels daily. However, relevant content received by a user may be buried in low-quality information. For example, users may receive a large amount of content that the user is not interested in receiving. As such, users may quickly find themselves inundated with irrelevant voluminous content that they cannot control. This is especially problematic for users of mobile networks who are trying to limit the cost of their data usage via their smart phones.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Detailed embodiments of the claimed structures and methods are disclosed herein; however, it can be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely illustrative of the claimed structures and methods that may be embodied in various forms. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these exemplary embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the scope of this invention to those skilled in the art. In the description, details of well-known features and techniques may be omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the presented embodiments.

Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to the field of social networking using a computer on a communication network, and more particularly to improving the content delivered to a user along with its impact on delivery bandwidth. The following described exemplary embodiments provide a system, method and program product for improving the quality, relevance and form of the content delivered to a user along with its impact on delivery bandwidth.

As previously described, social media mainly depends on user driven content and as such, large amounts of data flow through these social network channels daily. However, since the content is becoming more poorly structured, relevant content may be buried in low-quality information and users may quickly find themselves inundated with irrelevant voluminous content that they cannot control. This may be especially problematic for users of mobile networks who are trying to limit the cost of their data usage via their smart phones.

Currently, there are a number of technical approaches to address these problems. Some solutions focus on the extraction, aggregation, cleaning and visualization for data coming from multiple data sources such as databases or feeds from social networks. For example, data quality problems are currently being addressed by data cleaning. Some techniques may be used that allow users to improve the quality of data and handle cases where data is misrepresented (e.g., spelling mistakes), redundant or has different presentations. Other current techniques being explored involve the usage of semantic web techniques for the analysis of social network and the extraction of knowledge from existing data with a focus on topics such as trust and reputation.

However, with respect to these current technical approaches, the user has no control over the data representation delivered to the user. Additionally, the variability in the user's data usage constraints is not taken into consideration. Furthermore, topics' identification and content filtering are not dynamically based on the user's current timeline and location.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, data is gathered from different social networks and processed in a way that reduces clutter and improves the content quality while controlling and reducing data usage over mobile networks.

As will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, aspects of the present invention may be embodied as a system, method or computer program product. Accordingly, aspects of the present invention may take the form of an entirely hardware embodiment, an entirely software embodiment (including firmware, resident software, micro-code, etc.) or an embodiment combining software and hardware aspects that may all generally be referred to herein as a “circuit,” “module” or “system.” Furthermore, aspects of the present invention may take the form of a computer program product embodied in one or more computer readable medium(s) having computer readable program code embodied thereon.

The following described exemplary embodiments provide a system, method and program product for improving the quality, relevance and form of the content delivered to the user along with its impact on delivery bandwidth.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, a repository of user profiles and preferences may be utilized. The repository may contain all of the user's social media accounts that the user wishes to keep track of, the user's list of interests in a prioritized manner and the user's preferences regarding the delivery method of this content (i.e., size limitation or preferable formats). Additionally, at least one embodiment of the present invention may provide another stage of filtering which may be performed at “runtime” and based on the current snapshot of the timeline on different social networks, the filtered content is categorized and presented to the user so the user may choose the desired topics, the user wishes to consult.

Embodiments of the present invention may include the following main components: A preference repository database, an entities repository database, a proxy and a digest. The preference repository database may comprise of the user preferences related to quality and presentation of content to be delivered. The entities repository database may store entities' name (i.e., a person, a place, a thing, or an event) aggregated with all its possible representations, synonyms, and known names all linked to a single entity ID (i.e., user-identifier).

The proxy may intercept the content to be transferred to the user from different social network providers, process it and transmit an adapted content to the end user smart phone or computer based on the user preferences. The content may be presented to the user in the form of a digest respecting the user preferences and categorized by topic.

Embodiments of the present invention may allow the user to control the filter the user wishes to apply on the content received, in order to reduce data usage rather than imposing a specific constrain over size or type of media (as in the current methods being utilized). Additionally, embodiments of the present invention may be implement in a two-stage filtering mechanism that accounts for general preferences guidelines relating to media type and size as set in the preference repository and specific topics or events available at the time the service is requested.

Referring to FIG. 1, an exemplary networked computer environment 100 in accordance with one embodiment is depicted. The networked computer environment 100 may include a computer 102 with a processor 104 and a data storage device 106 that is enabled to run a software program 108. The networked computer environment 100 may also include a social network 112, a server 114 and a communication network 110. The networked computer environment 100 may include a plurality of computers 102 and servers 114, only one of which is shown. The communication network may include various types of communication networks, such as a wide area network (WAN), local area network (LAN), a telecommunication network, a wireless network, a public switched network and/or a satellite network. It should be appreciated that FIG. 1 provides only an illustration of one implementation and does not imply any limitations with regard to the environments in which different embodiments may be implemented. Many modifications to the depicted environments may be made based on design and implementation requirements.

The client computer 102 may communicate with social network 112 running on server computer 114 via the communications network 110. The communications network 110 may include connections, such as wire, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables. As will be discussed with reference to FIG. 4, server computer 114 may include internal components 800 a and external components 900 a, respectively, and client computer 102 may include internal components 800 b and external components 900 b, respectively. Client computer 102 may be, for example, a mobile device, a telephone, a personal digital assistant, a netbook, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, or any type of computing devices capable of accessing a social network.

As previously described, the client computer 102 may access social network 112, running on server computer 114 via the communications network 110. For example, a user using an application program 108 (e.g., FIREFOX®) (FIREFOX® and all FIREFOX®-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of MOZILLA® and/or its affiliates) running on a client computer 102 may connect via a communication network 110 to one of their social network accounts 112 which may be running on server computer 114.

Referring now to FIG. 2, a networked computer environment with an exemplary proxy 210 and a preference program 212 to improve the information content delivered to a user and improve the impact on delivery bandwidth of such content in accordance with one embodiment is depicted. Preference program 212 may be implemented as running on a server 202, computer 102B, or an end user mobile device 206B. However, for example purposes only, preference program 212 is depicted as running on server 202. Client computer 102A and end user mobile device 206A may communicate via a communication network 110 with a social network 112 which may be running on a server computer 114. Proactively improving the information content delivered to a user on a computer 102B or an end user mobile device 206B and improving the impact on delivery bandwidth of such content in accordance with at least one embodiment may be implemented as preference program 212 and proxy 210 running on server 202 interacting with social network 112 running on server 114. Proxy 210 running on server 202 may also interact with an entities repository database 208 and a preferences repository database 204.

Preference program 212 may be a computer program that improves the information content delivered to a user on an end user mobile device 206B or computer 102B and improves the impact on delivery bandwidth of such content from a social network 112, such as, TWITTER® (TWITTER® and all TWITTER®-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of TWITTER® and/or its affiliates) or FACEBOOK® (FACEBOOK® and all FACEBOOK®-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of FACEBOOK® and/or its affiliates). Proxy 210 may receive user requests from a computer 102A, collect data from different social media services' providers on a social network 112 and preference program 212 may perform a series of steps (which will be explained in detail below with respect to FIG. 3) on the received feeds before sending the content to the users on their end user mobile device 206B or their computer 102B.

Preferences repository database 204 may store the user profiles for subscribers of the proxy 210 service and hold their social media subscriptions (e.g. FACEBOOK®, TWITTER®, etc.) along with their preferences. The preferences repository database 204 may provide filter configuration which may be topic filtering based on the context or situation when presented in a digest. Interest preferences may be entered as tags and stored as entity IDs (i.e., user-identifiers) into the preferences repository database's 204 underlying storage. Additionally, delivery preferences may be stored. Delivery preferences may be preferences that relate to the delivery format, such as maximum bandwidth consumption allowed, preferable data format (i.e., text, images, and videos). Furthermore, the entities repository database 208 may store entities' name (i.e., a person, a place, a thing, or an event) aggregated with all its possible representations, synonyms, and known names all linked to a single entity ID (i.e., user identifier).

According to at least one embodiment, users may login to the preference repository database 204 (FIG. 2) to establish and maintain a user profile (i.e., a set of user-defined preferences associated with the social media data). Once the user profiles are set, the preferences may be pushed to the proxy 210 (FIG. 2) for future content filtering. When the user needs to access the service, a service request may be made to the proxy 210 (FIG. 2). Then the proxy 210 (FIG. 2) may connect to the service providers for the social networks 112 (FIG. 1) the user subscribed to 112 (FIG. 1) and the raw content may be provided to the proxy 210 (FIG. 2) from the different social network providers 112 (FIG. 1) associated with the user. Then the proxy 210 (FIG. 2) may process the content merged from all sources and filters it based on the user preferences and may be presented as a digest categorized by topic on the end user's mobile device 206B (FIG. 2) or computer 102B (FIG. 2).

Referring now to FIG. 3, an operational flowchart illustrating the steps carried out by a preference program 212 (FIG. 2) to improve the information content delivered to a user and improve the impact on delivery bandwidth of such content is depicted. As previously stated the method may be implemented by utilizing a preference repository 204 (FIG. 2), an entities repository database 208 (FIG. 2), a proxy 210 (FIG. 2) and a digest. The preference repository 204 (FIG. 2) may comprise of the user-defined preferences related to quality and presentation of content to be delivered. The proxy 210 (FIG. 2) may intercept the content to be transferred to the user from different social network providers, process it and transmit an adapted content to the end user smart phone 206B (FIG. 2) or computer 102B (FIG. 2) based on the user preferences. The content may be presented to the user in the form of a digest respecting the user preferences and categorized by topic.

At 302, the content is aggregated, (i.e., the feeds are merged). For example, different feeds coming in from different social networks 112 (FIG. 1) are merged into one timeline and the social network credentials are kept as part of the user profile in the preferences repository database 204 (FIG. 2).

Then at 304, the content is filtered (i.e., cleanup data) and the entries may be analyzed to eliminate (i.e., merge or delete) repetitive data. One implementation may be to detect and remove exact matches (i.e., data that is pointing to the same link and has the same file signature). Another implementation may be to detect similar feeds and aggregate them in a single entry utilizing a meta database (i.e., entities repository database 208 (FIG. 2)) that contains all spelling variations and known names of entities, where all different single entity mentions are replaced by a unique ID (i.e., user-identifier). Then, based on this ID, redundant feeds and feeds under the same event may be identified. The identified same event ID may be attached to the feed as metadata. Another implementation may be that feeds repeated from different sources within a network or from different feed sources are augmented such that the feed contents itself is kept intact while information regarding the source, such as IDs, geotags and timestamps may be attached as metadata.

Next, at 306, the content is analyzed (i.e., the data is categorized). For example, categorization may be deduced by analyzing patterns within the feeds into two main types (i.e., data categories). One type may be permanent categories (such as sports, culture, etc.) which may be identified by relevant category keywords or user-identifiers (i.e., IDS), timestamps and geo-tags. The permanent categories may be categories that the user wishes to receive information about on a permanent basis. The permanent categories may remain as a user-defined preference until the user changes the permanent categories. Another type may be temporary categories that represent an event, such as a live sporting event, identified by meta data information (i.e., same user-identifiers (i.e., IDS), timestamps and geo-tags within narrow intervals). With respect to the temporary category, there may be a link between two entities that is valid only for a certain amount of time. For example, there may be a link between two teams involved in a sporting game. Once the game (i.e., the live sporting event) has finished, the link may no longer be valid.

Additionally, in case of tight data constraints, using data roaming or a slow connection, one implementation of the present embodiment may allow the user to request (in the user's preferences) to receive a single instance from temporary categories (i.e., the most frequent one within the category). An example of this may be a live picture of a goalie scoring a goal at a soccer game. According to one implementation of the present embodiment, if the user has tight data limits, then the user may request to receive a single instance of an event. With respect to the soccer example, the user may wish to receive one picture depicting the goalie scoring a goal at the live soccer game. As such, geo-tags (i.e., geographical location tag), IDS (i.e., user-identifiers) of the name of the picture and timestamps (i.e., time the picture was taken) may be taken into account. Regarding the soccer example, geo-tags of the location of the stadium, IDs describing a similar name of the picture (e.g. team name) and timestamps showing approximately the same time the picture was taken may be taken into consideration in determining multiple instances of the same event (i.e., involving the same context). Therefore, the user may receive one picture of a particular time during the soccer game as opposed to receiving multiple instances of the same picture. Furthermore, the number of feeds coming under a certain category may be analyzed to aid in trend detection. For example, if a large number of feeds are being associated with a certain category, such as cooking, then this may aid in determining if a trend is occurring with respect to that particular category.

At 308, the digest is presented based on the data size, data type and data categories (i.e., applying data presentation preferences) to the user via the end user's mobile device 206 B (FIG. 2) or computer 102B. According to one implementation of the present embodiment, data size preferences are stored in a preferences repository 204 (FIG. 2). This may act as a first stage of filtering performed on the content based on the user preferences. Data size preferences may define how the data will be presented to the user depending on their bandwidth or connection speed. One implementation may be to display a text representation rather than images (e.g. image alternate tag or image name) when the user's data plan has tight data constrains, using data roaming or has a slow connection. Another implementation may be for data size preferences to be enabled contextually according to a profile (i.e., when a user is roaming) or based on a time schedule. Additionally, data size preferences and data type preferences may be used collaboratively to remove uninteresting feeds from the timeline.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a digest of filtered content may be created and presented to the user grouped by categories or events as identified by the previously described component. Then, based on the above, a second stage of filtering may be applied based on the user to select the categories that are most relevant to the user.
